Are you doing the painting yourself? Looks fantastic! What will be the end color? Did or are you going to remove the bed to get to the back of the cab? When can I bring my rig down?
Happy Sunday

I did everything but mix the primer, and pick up the gun and shoot it. The topcoat will be a dark green. I'm going to flatten the paint a bit. The Sterling paint is from a rep, so we went with the closest green that I like in their line. I bought a new front bed panel (and tailgate) and they are hanging there in the booth. The truck needed to be painted behind the cab.(plus I wanted every bit of the metallic blue paint GONE.) That sure isn't my booth! Finding rental booths in this area is like a black market thing. It was nerve racking driving the 9 miles to the booth with no lights,etc.
Now I gotta do sanding on the primer and some filling here and there. I'll be glad when this is over! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 127 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 127 | looking good! lots of people painting their trucks here lately! | | |
